Technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of roots pump rotors, particularly to
a structure of rotor connection of multi-axis multi-stage roots pumps.
Background art
[0002] The existing multi-stage roots pumps are two-axle, triaxial and non-coaxial. The
most common method of roots rotor connection is to sleeve at least two or more roots
rotors on a shaft, which to form a multi-stage roots pump. The biggest advantage of
connecting multiple roots rotors on one shaft is that these rotors are coaxial, and
the concentricity can be guaranteed greatly, and it is easier to ensure dynamic balance
and reduce accumulative error in processing. However, there are also obvious disadvantages.
[0003] Due to the structural characteristics of the roots rotor, its airflow can only flow
radially, which cannot flow axially towards the screw rotor. Therefore, both end faces
of a single roots rotor shaft must be blocked by a spacer, and at the same time, the
shaft and the spacer need to be sealed to prevent airflow from leaking out from the
seal between the shaft and the spacer. Therefore, during installation, the first-stage
roots rotor shall be sleeved firstly, and then the spacer and the sealing element
are installed to seal the pump cavity of the first stage. Then the roots rotor of
the second stage is installed, followed by the installation of spacer and sealing
element, to seal the pump cavity of the second stage, and the installation of the
multi-stage roots rotor are achieved orderly.
[0004] Although the clearance reserved for each stage of the roots rotor and the end caps
on both sides after the installation is completed, in actual operation, due to thermal
expansion displacement and thermal stress, one end of the first-stage roots rotor
shaft is fixed with ball bearing. The other side end can be displaced, to offset the
thermal stress and thermal expansion displacement. For the second-stage roots rotor,
both side ends of the rotor can be displaced, and the thermal displacement of the
side end of the second-stage roots rotor close to the first-stage roots rotor is the
total thermal displacement of the first-stage roots rotor, and the thermal displacement
at the other side end of the second-stage roots rotor is: total thermal displacement
of the first-stage roots rotor plus total thermal displacement of the second-stage
roots rotor. In turn, the more stages of roots rotors, the thermal displacement of
the both side end faces are the superposition of the total displacement of the previous
roots rotors. The thermal displacement is jointly determined by the actual operating
temperature and the thermal expansion coefficient of different materials at different
temperatures, also due to the accumulative error of assembly, the reserved clearance
required for installation is difficult to predict and control. This is the cause that
the installation of multi-stage roots pumps is very difficult to adjust and fix the
clearance between the roots rotor and the end face of the next multiple stages. The
conventional method is to enlarge the reserved clearance, but the excessive clearance
will reduce the efficiency due to backflow and increase the vibration, which directly
causes the performance of the multi-stage roots vacuum pump is not up to the standard.
However, even if it is adjusted according to the reserved standards, the rotors of
next stages of rotors are easy to be serized and locked during actual operation, because
multiple stages of rotors are on a shaft, and the thermal expansion is accumulated.
The amount of reserved clearance of next stages of rotors cannot be controlled.
Summary of invention
[0005] In view of the disadvantages of the prior art, the invention provides a structure
of rotor connection of multi-axis multi-stage roots pump, which overcomes the disadvantages
of the prior art with reasonable design, and the first-stage rotor body is limited
and fixed by the bearing, while the second-stage rotor body is only radially limited
by the bearing in the first-stage rotor body. The rotor shaft on the other side is
also fixed and limited by the bearing, so the thermal expansion displacement and thermal
stress of the second-stage rotor body are completely independent during operation.
The thermal expansion displacement of the first-stage rotor body does not affect the
second-stage rotor body, and it can also synchronously drive the second-stage rotor
body.
[0006] In order to achieve the above objectives, the invention is achieved through the following
technical solutions:
A structure of rotor connection of multi-axial multi-stage roots pump comprises a
rotor body, a rotor shaft is arranged on one end face of the rotor body; a sub-shaft
cavity is opened in the rotor shaft, and the sub-shaft cavity and the rotor shaft
are arranged concentrically and coaxially; the locating keyways are symmetrically
opened on both sides inside the sub-shaft cavity; a sub-shaft is arranged on the other
end face of the rotor body, the sub-shaft and the rotor shaft are arranged concentrically
and coaxially, and the sub-shafts and the sub-shaft cavities of two adjacent rotor
bodies are matched, the locating keyways are symmetrically opened on both sides of
the sub-shaft, and the keyways are installed and fixed through sub-rotor shaft keys
(6) in the locating keyways.
[0007] Preferably, the depth of the locating keyway is less than that of the sub-shaft cavity,
and the depth of sub-shaft cavity is less than the length of the rotor shaft.
[0008] Preferably, the length of the keyway on the surface of the sub-shaft is less than
that of the sub-shaft.
[0009] Preferably, both the rotor shaft and the sub-shaft are made of cast iron, and the
sub-shaft and the sub-shaft cavity are interference fitted.
[0010] Preferably, one end side of the sub-rotor shaft key is a plane end face, which is
used for positioning with the rotor shaft, and the other end side of the sub-rotor
shaft key is an arc-shaped end face, which is used for the guiding and installation
of the sub-shaft.
[0011] The invention provides a structure of rotor connection of multi-axis multi-stage
roots pump. It has the following beneficial effects: the rotor shafts and sub shafts
of two adjacent rotor bodies are matched and assembled concentrically with the sub-rotor
shaft keys, thereby ensuring that the shafts of two rotors are on the same shaft center;
at the same time, after the rotor shaft and sub-shaft are installed matching with
the sub-rotor shaft keys, the shaft rotation angle of two rotor bodies remains the
same; moreover, because the first-stage rotor body is fixed and limited by the bearing,
the second-stage rotor body is only radially limited by the bearing in the first-stage
rotor body, and the rotor shaft on the other side of the second-stage rotor body is
also fixed and limited by the bearing, so the thermal expansion displacement and thermal
stress of the second-stage rotor body are completely independent during operation.
The thermal expansion displacement of the first-stage rotor body does not affect the
second-stage rotor body, and it can also synchronously drive the second-stage rotor
body.

Embodiments
[0014] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the invention
clearer, the technical solutions in the invention will be described clearly and completely
combined with the drawings in the invention.
[0015] As shown in Figure 1-7, a structure of rotor connection of multi-axial multi-stage
roots pump comprises a rotor body, a rotor shaft 2 is arranged on one end face of
the rotor body 1; a sub-shaft cavity 7 is opened in the rotor shaft 2, and the sub-shaft
cavity 7 and the rotor shaft 2 are arranged concentrically and coaxially; the locating
keyways 4 are symmetrically opened on both sides inside the sub-shaft cavity(7; a
sub-shaft 3 is arranged on the other end face of the rotor body 1, the sub-shaft 3
and the rotor shaft 2 are arranged concentrically and coaxially, and the sub-shafts
3 and the sub-shaft cavities 7 of two adjacent rotor bodies 1 are matched, the locating
keyways 5 are symmetrically opened on both sides of the sub-shaft 3, and the keyway
5 is arranged correspondingly to the locating keyway 4, and the keyways 5 are installed
and fixed through sub-rotor shaft keys 6 in the locating keyways.
[0016] In the embodiment of the invention, an integral roots pump rotor consists of a plurality
of rotor bodies 1 for combination, and the size of each rotor body 1 includes the
length, outer diameter and row line structure of the rotor body 1 can be different,
only requiring the inner diameter of the sub-shaft cavity 7 in the rotor shaft 2 of
each rotor body 1, the outer diameter of the sub-shaft 3, the locating keyway 4 in
the sub-shaft cavity 7 and the keyway 5 on the outer surface of the sub-shaft 3 are
consistent. Moreover, the first-stage rotor body 1 only needs a rotor shaft, and the
other end face is designed as a normal shaft, which can meet the installation of gears,
bearing, lock nuts and other parts.
[0017] Before multiple rotor bodies 1 are combined, the parts at one end of the normal shaft
of the first-stage rotor body 1 are firstly installed to position the first-stage
rotor body 1, and the bearing can also be installed on the outer surface of the rotor
shaft 2 of the first-stage rotor body 1, so that the entire first-stage rotor body
1 is limited by two bearings, and then the spacer and the sealing element are installed
to seal both side end faces of the first-stage roots pump cavity, so that the first-stage
rotor body 1 is within an independent roots pump cavity. And the rotor shaft 2 of
the first-stage rotor body 1 is reserved on the spacer for connecting with the sub-shaft
of the second-stage rotor body 1.
[0018] When multiple rotor bodies 1 is combined, two sub-rotor shaft keys 6 are firstly
installed in the rotor shaft 2 of the first-stage rotor body 1, and make the rotor
shaft keys 6 correspond to the locating keyways 4, and then let the keyway 5 on the
surface of the sub-shaft 3 of the second-stage rotor body 1 align with the two sub-rotor
shaft keys 6 already installed in the rotor shaft 2 of the first-stage rotor body
1, to ensure that the sub-shaft 3 is inserted into the rotor shaft 2, and the rotor
shaft 2 and the subshaft 3 are assembled concentrically, thereby ensuring that the
shafts of both rotors are on the same shaft center; at the same time, after the rotor
shaft 2 and sub-shaft 3 are installed matching with the sub-rotor shaft keys 6, the
shaft rotation angle of two rotor bodies 1 remains the same; and in order to further
increase the rotation angle of the shaft during rotation and eliminate the accumulative
error, after several rotors are meshed and assembled together, the outer circular
lines of several rotor bodies 1 can be integrally machined to ensure the rotation
angles of the shafts of the rotor bodies 1 are completely the same.
[0019] After the sub-shaft 3 of the second-stage rotor body 1 is inserted into the rotor
shaft 2 of the first-stage rotor body 1, due to the first-stage rotor body 1 is fixed
and limited by the bearing (including axial and radial directions), while it is only
radially limited by the bearing in the first-stage rotor body 1, and similarly, the
rotor shaft 2 on the other side of the second-stage rotor body 1 is also fixed and
limited by the bearing (including axial and radial directions). So the thermal expansion
displacement and thermal stress of the second-stage rotor body 1 are completely independent
during the operation, and the thermal expansion displacement of the first-stage rotor
body does not affect the second-stage rotor body, and it can also synchronously drive
the second-stage rotor body; similarly, the sub-shaft 3 of the third-stage rotor body
is inserted into the rotor shaft 2 of the first-stage rotor body 1 in the same way;
each rotor body 1 of the multi-stage roots pump is independently fixed and the thermal
expansion displacement is also independent without accumulative superposition. Therefore,
as long as the accuracy meets the requirements, the number of stages of the multi-stage
roots pump can be more, not affected by thermal expansion displacement and thermal
stress.
[0020] Further, the depth of the locating keyway 4 is less than that of the sub-shaft cavity
7, and the depth of the sub-shaft cavity 7 is less than the length of the rotor shaft
2. And ensure that the excircle of the rotor shaft 2 is continuous, without notch
in the arc surface of the outermost circle. Because the depth of the sub-shaft cavity
7 cannot reach the root of the rotor shaft 2, the strength of the rotor shaft 2 can
be guaranteed. When driving, the rotor shaft 2 will not be tore at the root of the
rotor body 1 due to the angular rotation force.
[0021] Further, the length of the keyway 5 on the surface of the sub-shaft 3 is less than
that of the sub-shaft 3, and ensure that the excircle of the sub-shaft 3 is continuous,
without notch in the arc surface of the outermost circle. Because the length of the
keyway 5 does not reach the root of the sub-shaft 3, the strength of the sub-shaft
3 can be guaranteed. When driving, the sub-shaft 3 will not be tore at the root of
the rotor body 1 due to the angular rotation force.
[0022] Further, both the rotor shaft 2 and the sub-shaft 3 are made of cast iron, and the
sub-shaft 3 and the sub-shaft cavity 7 are interference fitted. Thus, it is possible
to satisfy that the sub-shaft 3 is smoothly inserted into the rotor shaft 2 without
adhesion.
[0023] Further, one end side of the sub-rotor shaft key 6 is a plane end face 61, which
is used for positioning with the rotor shaft 2, so that when the sub-shaft key 6 is
installed in the locating keyway 4, the flat end surface 61 can fit with the end faces
of the locating keyway 4; and the other end side of the sub-rotor shaft key 6 is an
arc-shaped end face 62, which can play a certain role in installation and guidance
when the sub-shaft 3 is inserted into the rotor shaft 2; Moreover, The driving achieved
by meshing with the rotor shaft 2 is to drive the upper side and top surface of both
ends of the sub-rotor shaft key 6, and the driving achieved by meshing with the rotor
shaft 3 is the lower side and bottom surfaces of the both ends of the sub-rotor shaft
key 6.
